Nihil Obstat Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'm a bit scattered at the moment. Initially I want to say that first of all anointing references the kingship of Christ, the Holy Spirit shows His Divinity. The Baptism references His fulfillment of Jewish law.

cappie Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Luke -- and God who inspired him -- wants to make very sure we don't miss the point of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus at his baptism. Jesus has always been divine, but His ministry as Messiah now begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
